Best Day Ever! - From the beginning, we were immersed in an Italian cooking experience. Fresh ingredients, techniques and wine tasting along the way, the final presentations was both beautiful and some of the best food we have had. The setting is in a beautiful location, overlooking the hills and countryside, very peaceful. Our host was fun, professional, interesting, respectful, and knowledgeable! We are so happy we had the opportunity to experience such a wonderful day!

Fresh pasta as a professional at an Italian chef and generous and talented - Amazing time spent with chef Andrea learning how to make fresh pasta. His generosity and talent were greatly appreciated! As a great cooking professional he gave us lots of tips that we will try to replicate at home and the lunch shared with him was a timeless moment. A great moment of conviviality and delicacy as close as possible to the Italian culinary tradition (Piedmont and Tuscany) we highly recommend!

Wonderful family experience in a local home - Andrea welcomed us into his home for pasta making. The 5 of us spent all afternoon here - made 3 types of pasta and a dessert. All were accompanied by local wines. He was very patient teaching us techniques including knife skills, blending herbs and flavors, and fine tuning pasta making. Conversation with Andrea was relaxing and we spoke about local products, climate impacts and world production of Italian products. This was an amazing day for our family.
